🇮🇸 A fiery sea of volcanic lava
A volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula has been erupting for a week. According to weather officials, lava from the volcano has moved much further west than in any previous eruption and continues to move westwards at more than 100 metres per hour.
Traditionally for the area, the nearby town of Grindavik and the popular Blue Lagoon geothermal resort have been completely evacuated. The Civil Defence Service has declared a state of emergency in the region due to the eruption. According to local television, this is the seventh eruption from the Sundhnuxgigar craters this year.
Increased volcanic activity is usual for Iceland, every year thousands of tourists come here to observe the natural phenomenon, but often volcanic eruption in Iceland has unpleasant consequences. For example, in 2010, the surge of activity of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano stopped air travel over most of Western Europe.
